Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gordon Hood (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Hayes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hayes has chosen The Blood of Cuchulainn - Mychael & Jeff Danna as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
